Muslims To Declare State in Israel, Ask OIC-UN to Recognize Fakestinian State

Who are the most vulnerable in today's malevolent world? America's allies. America's allies are the most vulnerable.
The worst president of the free world will yield the worst results. Catastrophic. This latest move by the Muslims to rout the Jews owes much to Obama's sanction of an Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) driven UN. Obama will increasingly relinquish American sovereignty to the UN. (That's how Obama will go after your guns.)
Caroline Glick wrote of Netanyahu's visit with Obama last week:
Once again, US President Barack Obama has demonstrated his intention of "putting light" between America and Israel. His hostility toward Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during the latter's visit to Washington this week was breathtaking.
It isn't every day that you can see an American president leaving the prime minister of an allied government twisting in the wind for weeks before deciding to grant him an audience at the White House.
It isn't every day that a visiting leader from a strategically vital US ally is brought into the White House in an unmarked van in the middle of the night rather than greeted like a friend at the front door; is forbidden to have his picture taken with the president; is forced to leave the White House alone, through a side exit; and is ordered to keep the contents of his meeting with the president secret.
"Palestinians to ask UN to recognise state," by Nasser Abu Bakr for AFP, November 16 (thanks to Sr. Soph):
The objective here is not so much to get a state, although certainly a Palestinian state would serve as a useful base for their continuing jihad against Israel. (It would also be an international welfare state existing off jizya from the West.)
The objective is to gain another resolution from the OIC-dominated UN that would portray Israel as an outlaw state, in violation of international law and consensus.
The Palestinians said Sunday they plan to ask for UN recognition of their independence, amid mounting frustration over the stalled peace process as Israel warned against any unilateral moves.
"We have reached a decision... to go to the UN Security Council to ask for recognition of an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital and with June 1967 borders," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP.
He was referring to the West Bank, Gaza Strip and mostly Arab east Jerusalem that Israel captured during the 1967 Six Day War.
"We're going to seek support from EU countries and Russia and other countries" for the measure, he said.
Erakat's comments came amid growing frustration among the Palestinians with so-far ineffective US efforts to relaunch peace negotiations with Israel that were suspended during the Gaza Strip war at the turn of the year....
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday there was no alternative to negotiations to secure peace and that any unilateral moves by the Palestinians would unravel past agreements.
Palestinian officials said they were planning on taking their quest for independence to the U.N. Security Council, aiming to secure international support for a state.
"There is no substitute for negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority and any unilateral path will only unravel the framework of agreements between us and will only bring unilateral steps from Israel's side," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu, who was addressing a forum on the Middle East in Jerusalem, did not make a direct reference to the Palestinians' decision to turn to the U.N. for recognition for a future state.
He also made no mention of the possible unilateral steps that Israel would make should the Palestinians unilaterally seek international support for a state.
Saeb Erekat, chief Palestinian negotiator, said earlier on Sunday there was no time frame for the diplomatic initiative to secure backing for the state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. "When we are ready, we will go," he told Reuters.
Palestinians attributed the move to frustration at the lack of progress in peace negotiations with Israel which have been stalled for a year. (Reporting by Ari Rabinovitch; Writing by Joseph Nasr; Editing by Jon Hemming)
